Smart move the timing worked out great for you. Well another coat of Zaino has been applied.

It was in a clear spray bottle that you sprayed on and let dry. Sorry I don't remember the name.

Thanks! It doesn't generate much brake dust. I'm also pretty easy on the brakes.

Sounds like it's about time to upgrade that M for a new G35...

Thanks. Nothing looks better than a shiny LR Coupe...

We'll have to park in the "Missing Man" formation at Lokey to commemorate our fallen friend.

That's good planning. I'll bet it looks super when Jon gets done with it. I can't wait to see your new front end in person.

I like Zaino, but by the time you get done with the whole process, you've spent an entire day. At least I have. It takes me quite a while.

Oh, that's right, Don Knotts died. I'll keep the avatar up for a week in his memory, then I'll retire it. RIP Don.

Heh... I thought the same thing Gilley did. Us LR owners are always on the lookout for LR Haters...

Speaking of LR G35s...

I washed mine yesterday, shampooed the front mats, and put on a coat of Z-2. Put on a coat of Z-6 this morning before work. I'll probably wash it Friday afternoon and maybe put on a coat of Z-8. Other than that, I'm almost done... looking forward to the Meet...

Well, my G is is ready as it's going to get.

Since the two pictures at the top of this thread, I've washed it, put on a coat of Z-2, put on a coat of Z-6, washed it again, put on a coat of Z-8, detailed the tires with Z-16... and I'm done.

I'm not sure you can notice the difference in the picture, but it looks better to me... and it's good exercise!

Looks good. My detailing consisted of:
1. wash
2. claybar
3. 2 coats of Z5
4. 2 coats of Z2
5. 3 coats of Z6 in between Z5's & Z2's
6. Engine bay detail
7. Leather condition
8. Vacuum and shampoo floormats
9. Polish exhaust tips and wheels

A bug crawled on my hood and slide down it's so glassy. Well maybe not but is sure does have a great shine.
Now after all that my car looks stock so no one will even notice it.
